Conflict Resolution – the Ugly Truth

People claim “peace to reign”, and simply sweep matters under the carpet as against addressing the underlying issue. No consequences, no new laws, no boundaries, no compensation, no behavioral therapy, nothing. Just ” apologies” and show of “reconciliation”.     Then the same issue keeps popping up with increasingly worse manifestations and we keep burying an insanely […]

Neurodivergence – a Short Interview

Neurodivergence?? Care to share few nuggets? — Love Surgeon??❤️ (@iam_Tommik) December 19, 2020 Neurodivergence speaks to the fact that people’s brains are structured differently. The “majority” are neurotypical.

Kindness

A number of times this year, we have had a wave of people reminding others to be kind, to treat others well etc. However, it does not seem to last long before we sort of return to “default settings”. In this article, we take a look at kindness, and some of the many different ways

The Book of Haggai

Haggai 1  Verse 1: The flow of information from God through His prophet to the governor shows off often vital links that we tend to overlook.  Prophetic insight ——–> Policy makers, Government powers ———–> Faster results  God’s plans may transcend the level of individuals getting the work done.

Thankfulness

Thankfulness is a deliberate choice. It is a decision to look away from what is not working, and focus on the ONE thing that works (or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5). There will always be something that you need, that hurts, that could be better. But guess what? There’s that one place where

The Reward for Faith

All these people earned a good reputation because of their faith, yet none of them received all that God had promised.

The God on my Side

For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him. Phil 2:13 NLT It is God at work in me, that gives me the – desire – power to do what pleases Him. Not my efforts, not my abilities. He Himself. In this journey, He is on

Age, Growth and Wisdom

Enoch lived 365 years, walking in close fellowship with God. Then one day he disappeared, because God took him. Genesis 5:23‭-‬24 NLT In this part of the world, there’s a tradition that baffles me, mostly because I do not see the logical or Scriptural sense in it. The passage of time offers nothing of itself

On Patriarchy…

18/08/2020 I had been dealing with a lot of (not very pleasant) surprises that left my mind in a fog, and a lot of what I wrote in this period was not very coherent. But this morning, I woke up with thoughts of patriarchy filling up my head and wrote this article in one sitting
